#504 has been done by another librarian

[Ashley]

Would someone please remove "Empath: A Complete Guide for Developing Your Gift and Finding Your Sense of Self" from this list? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

It's not specifically about parenting or written for parents as the rest are. Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Could you delete Home Song from this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

It is not a historical Romance.

Thanks.

On the list Kick-Ass Female Superheroes, even though it specifies that no UF books be added to the list, someone added Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey; while it's a good book, it doesn't fit the description of the list. I've applied to become a librarian, but haven't' heard back yet. Could someone please take this book off the list? Thank you!

Dear Goodreads

I'm hoping you can help please. I am the author of three novels: Pescador's Wake, The Better Son and Matryoshka. Please retain these three books on my author page.

However there are five other books that are not mine on the page. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Please delete these five books:

#516 this is the wrong thread - this thread is for removing books from lists - as the title says.
this is the thread you're looking for https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[☕ Lachgas ♿]

#515 a link to at least the list would be helpful (and if it's a long one a number where the book in question can be found)

[Katherine]

OK - thanks very much. I misunderstood the title of the thread. I've placed my request now in the correct thread.
Kind regards
Katherine

I can only speak for "American Gods", but there is a gay interspecies romance. So please don't delete this.

Hi - I'm new to list-making so please let me know if I'm doing this wrong. Someone has added a bunch of books that aren't appropriate for kids and/or aren't related to the theme to my "Journalism Books for Kids" (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...) list - can someone help me remove them? Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future? Thanks in advance for your help!

Can't Wait Books of 2019 https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Please remove Dread Nation (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...), currently on page 6, as it was published this year: April 3, 2018

Thank you in advance!

[Emily]

#525 I will start working on this I believe I got them all. Let me know if I missed one. Since anyone can add books to the list, I don't know that you can prevent non-applicable books from being added.
I guess the best thing to do is monitor it more frequently and post here if you see a rogue book.

Hello!

I would like to request a removal of the book “Omega” please in the list I created. Someone trolling obviously because it was in the description to not include werewolf books in the list. It is currently number 5. Many thanks.

HI can someone help with my list? the list is https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... and books #34 Variant Lost (The Evelyn Maynard Trilogy, #1) by Kaydence Snow and #36 Blood Lust: A Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance (Devil's Gate Book 1) by Grace White. They don't belong here as they are paranormal. thanks!

#535 I have removed those books.

Please remove The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by V.E. Schwab https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... from this list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... as it is set for 2020 publication (and is already on the Can't Wait 2020 list)

and please remove The Navigator's Children (The Last King of Osten Ard #3) by Tad Williams https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... from this list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... as it has no publication date yet

[Olivia]

Part 1 done.
As for part 2 the description does not say not to add books without a publication date set.
It may fit the list or it may not, but it seems hasty to remove the votes before the publication date is revealed.

Thanks, Olivia. As the list creator, I will edit the description accordingly. This list is specifically for books to be published in 2020. If a book has no planned date, then it should not be included on this list. There are other lists, or the voters can create their own lists, for books with unknown / uncertain publication dates.

Further, I looked around online and found no official mention of 2020 by either the author or the UK or US publishers.

could someone please remove Frankenstein from this list?

[Audrey's Picture Books]

Additionally, I noticed a couple more errors on the https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5... list.

#349 Heckerington Peck and Friends by Graham Knight appears twice in a row, apparently as a duplicate.

I don't know if there's any remedy for this, but The Princess and the Goblin by George Macdonald appears twice, once at #108 on its own and once at #19 in an edition that combines it with its sequel The Princess and Curdie.

[Audrey's Picture Books]

Please remove the following books from https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1.... The list is for nonfiction picture books. Though several of these books are informative in nature, they are not nonfiction.

The list creator has effectively abandoned it (but was active on Goodreads last month). The description is unclear (must have less than 10k, but then "anything with more than 40k will be removed"). Anyway, I'm still happy to remove anything with >40k if you see them.

#544
Combined two editions of Heckerington Peck and Friends that were not under the same record; someone probably added both. I deleted that duplicate listing.
I deleted the copy of The Princess and the Goblin that only had the first book, as someone may have purposely added the one with 2 books.

#545 done

If you find I have missed one please let me know!

List creators do not own lists they create, and have no more responsibility to maintain the lists than any other user. Listopia lists are a communal resource.

Good to remember. If the description should be changed to something else for more clarity we can certainly do that.

Hi. Please remove "The Set Piece", by Catherine Lane from my list. It doesn't belong there. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Thank you.

Edit: "Face It", by Georgette Kaplan doesn't belong there either.

[Emily]

#551 I will work on this
#552 Will you please clarify for me--why doesn't Face It belong? Is it because they had a one night stand before faking the relationship?

[Emily]

#551
The edit view only allows us to see 100 books at once, and there is no way to search the list.
I worked my way through Club Shadowlands, but after that they are not in order. If you would, please number each book according to its current spot in the list and put them in numerical order.
Also, please list the numbers and titles of the Kalea Cross and K. Reus books that should be deleted.
